Stimmel, Barry; Smith, Harry, Jr. – Journal of Medical Education, 1985
Graduates of "fifth pathway" programs at medical schools in New York state between 1976-1978 were studied to determine their professional careers and choice of medical specialties. Fifth pathway graduates, 95 percent from Mexican medical schools, were more likely to select nonprimary care than primary care specialties. (Author/MLW)
